  1. I love always being right. I've been saying for years that the purpose of central banking is to transfer wealth to the wealthy and to fund wars, which BTW, also transfers wealth to the wealthy. Good thing we don't have constitutional money of gold and silver, right?

    Here is all the Constitution says about the money power of the government. From Article I, Section 8, there is “Congress shall have Power…to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin.” And from Section 10, “no state…shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” from https://www.forbes.com/.../the-few-words-on-money-in-the-constitution-say-... [bold added]

    Moreover, needlessly expensive fiat is, on its face, a looting scheme similar to $700 government hammers and gold toilets for government officials.
